Honoring Excellence: FirstLine Middle School Student Achievement Awards

On Tuesday, May 13th, we proudly celebrated the outstanding accomplishments of our middle school scholars at the Annual FirstLine Middle School Student Achievement Awards.

Students from across our network were recognized for their hard work and dedication in the 2024–25 school year, with honors in categories such as reading fluency, iReady lesson completion, perfect attendance, highest GPA, and mastery in math and ELA. 📚ðŸ†

The evening was elevated by two inspiring guests:

  • Larry Barabino, Jr., CEO of the NORD Commission, who delivered a powerful and uplifting message to our students and their families.
  • Honorable Judge Ranord Darensburg, who presented FirstLine CEO Sabrina Pence with the Families First Impact Award for her commitment to supporting youth and families through FINS Orleans Parish.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to the dedicated teachers and families whose guidance and encouragement are at the core of our students’ success. 🧡

And no FirstLine celebration is complete without a little New Orleans flair—One Shot Brass Band and the legendary Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club Tramps brought the music and energy to close a wonderful night! 🎺🎶
